The fact that you see no need for people to have more than a week to make plans to use the tickets that they've already bought and paid for makes me feel bad for you more than anything. Yes, amazingly plenty of people will actually have other obligations next weekend. Hopefully the NHL can settle on a schedule format more than a few hours before puck drop.

You are something else.

I'm a very busy person, and 7 days is more than enough time to adjust schedules for a hockey game.

If it's not, I'm sure there will be enough demand in the secondary market for you to dispense of your tickets.
